Title:
Focal installer destroyed my datasets
Status in zsys package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I installed focal about a month about, using the desktop installer
with the 'experimental' ZFS root option. I've been running ZFS on
FreeBSD for about 10 years and figured I could handle any sharp edges.
It's installed to a single 2TB SSD - no RAID, no L2ARC/ZIL, no dedup,
nothing complicated. Machine is an Intel S2600CP2, 2x E5-2670 v1,
128GiB RAM.
The machine stayed up for a few weeks, until I had cause to physically
move it and so shut it down. It turned out GRUB had installed onto
the wrong disk which I'd removed in the intervening time. It wouldn't
boot, so I booted the focal desktop installer from a USB stick to give
me a shell to fix things. I didn't run the actual installer, I just
booted to the installer desktop and then did Ctrl-Alt-F1, apt install
openssh-server, and then logged in via SSH.
Then I followed some instructions about mounting the pool in a chroot (Step
3):
https://askubuntu.com/questions/826209/re-initialise-grub-for-non-bootable-uefi-zfs-16-04-installation
This took a couple of goes to get right as the first time I tried to mount on
top of the installer (without zpool import -R) and many filesystems couldn't
replace preexisting mounts, so I exported and re-imported. Anyway, I succeeded
in mounting, and then doing update-grub. However, looking at the zpool history
-il log while I was in the installer I see:
(full zpool history -il log attached)

Here something that wasn't the command line - and so I assume is zsys
- deleted all the datasets I made in rpool/USERDATA. This was about
1TiB of data.
Needless to say, nothing should be destroying user datasets.
